BNP MEP's invite revoked

Yep after all the calls for the Royal Household to discriminate against Nick Griffin by refusing to extend to him an invitation to attend the Queen's Garden Party in line with every other MEP, he's manage to get himself knocked off the guest list by making this apolitical matter a political matter.

Seems Mr Griffin was so chuffed that all the calls to bar him from the party were for naught that he popped up on his blog and tried to turn his attendance into a rallying point for the BNP and asked the Party faithful what he should ask the Queen should he meet her and appeared on various media outlets discussing this in context with his Party. This is all a no-no and after it was all pointed out to the organisers his invitation revoked.

Before the BNP Party faithful cry foul and start to spit at the "hate-filled far-left opposition" note that Andrew Brons the other BNP MEP is still attending.

Oh wait too late "The politically motivated refusal to allow British National Party leader Nick Griffin MEP to attend a tea party at Buckingham Palace is an attack on democracy, the media, freedom of speech and one million British patriots."sigh.

An attack on democracy and freedom of speech?

More like an attack on a bunch of xenophobic hate-mongers who have nothing better to do with their lives than yell at people.

Heck, I'm not fond of foreigners, and even I think that the BNP are a bunch of morons who shouldn't be allowed out.

But aaaanyway…

I just liked the "one million British patriots", there are roughly 44mn registered voters in the UK who don't seem to want the BNP, but I suppose that's the wrong sort of democracy ;-)

Not so much “one million British patriots” as “one million racits with too much free time”, but anyway…

Still, you can print anything these days.

Ah but one man's freedom fighter and all that :-) Gods I wouldn't put it past them to use that too.
